That's far out!

Seemed an appropriate place to put those thoughts. I don't where else I could post and have anyone give a shit about any of those names.

To me it's always as simple as if u can vibe with a somewhat jaded post apocalyptic worldview you tend to dig aes. If you don't enjoy some acid trip level imagery and super left brain shit you tend to not. It's all about what mood I'm in. I certainly have had my moments when icant get enough; and also months or even years have gone by where his shit collects dust.

I've had enough of this philosophical nonsense.....
Aesop Rock is dope always and that's just the way it is.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Why is no one taking me as genuine? I said thanks. What do you want from me?

I am loving this record, particuarly Fryerstarter and Cycles To Gahenna. That third verse on Cycles is too dope...

Probably my favorite AR shit since Labor Days, to be totally honest. It just seems like his production style (which was really spotty imo) finally came together for him. That being said I really miss him rhyming to Blockhead stuff. Or anyone for that matter...why doesn't anyone tap Blockhead for beats these days?

So I caught the Skelethon tour stop in Dallas last night. Not too shabby. A bit too many new songs for my taste, but overall a good night.

So as we're leaving I almost have an argument w/ some guy who claimed the Dallas date was special because not only was Sage Francis in the house, but he was with Slug.

Yep, Sage and Slug came to Dallas, TX to see Aesop Rock. I wish I could've snapped a photo of these 2 guys to post here.

For those of that enjoyed the collabo with Kimya Dawson, apparently the two have formed a wee group called The Uncluded. As I understand it there is an album forthcoming at some point. I've heard stranger shit, I'm sure.
